A Flick of Asa For Love
CHAPTER 42

...***...

The following days, Nathan went through gloomily. The face that usually looks bright because of the smile that is always engraved from the look of his face, is now no more.

If anything, it was just a forced smile that he presented to his family members. Like this morning, at breakfast with his family. Nathan, who used to liven up the atmosphere a little boisterous at the dinner table, now only ate breakfast solemnly without a word.

Liana and her two twins, only communicate through the eyes. Both who do not know the problem of his brother, compact shrugged their shoulders. Until Nathan hits an innocent pair of spoons. "That's!"

Six other pairs of eyes were staring at him. "Why, anyway, Bang! Plates don't hurt to be an impingement." Ellen could not bear to not comment.

Nathan who soon realized just looked at him flatly, and ignored Ellen's words. He got up from his seat, circled the table and ended up near where mom was sitting.

"Nath's leaving, Ma." Nathan grabs his mother's hand and kisses her, then turns on both of her cheeks. Liana was still staring, until her consciousness returned.

"Be careful, honey!"

Moments after Nathan passed, Liana turned to her twins. "Someone knows why your brother?" liana asked Evan and Ellen.

"No, Ma." Evan grabbed a tissue to clean up the rest of the breakfast in his mouth.

"Maybe there's a problem with Widya, Ma." Ellen moved from her seat to grab my mom's hand and kiss her, just like Nathan did, even with Evan. Family photos full of warmth.

"Go to school first, Ma," they say almost simultaneously.

...***...

During a break during her class break, Widya sat alone in a small park near her faculty building. Impregnating the sense that arises from within him, when remembering Nathan's treatment of Vina.

"Which girlfriend will be fine, seeing her lover's treatment so sweet towards her ex?" lirih Widya exhaled violently.

As he returns to his class, he meets Nathan in the front corridor of the classroom. The two of them looked at each other with bitter looks and were full of disappointment. Through the eyes of the two as if they were having a dialogue.

Without a word, without a warm greeting, without a smile the two passed by ignoring each other. If Nathan could be honest, he would very much like to approach his girl and hold her tight. Removing all the grief in his heart. However, Nathan realizes that Widya needs time to recover her heart which he has disappointed. Even Nathan who felt a little disappointed in Widya, because he preferred to be driven home by Harsa at that time.

It did not escape the attention of Cindy who was displaying her smirk smile. "The light of war has been raided. Next, a scene like this would be food in the following days." Cindy plays next to her hair, hiding behind a wall.

...***...

Since seeing Widya who was in Harsa's arms. Nathan's mind went awry. Moreover, Harsa's words were full of emphasis and there was no doubt at that time.

There were no messages or calls between the two. Nathan was afraid that he might have spoken wrongly. Likewise with Widya, her whole mind raged, between thinking about the advice of her two best friends and the reality that happened before her eyes.

This morning, Widya was about to leave for college. When he was on the porch, suddenly a sweet memory with Nathan was present in the memory. When Nathan was never absent to pick him up, also when Nathan was always there when he needed to. Not wanting the pain to be more excruciating, he decided to take an online motorcycle taxi and stop remembering those sweet memories.

On the way to campus, Widya only fell silent to the pace of vehicles vying to arrive at their respective destinations. Without feeling, he had stopped at the campus parking area along with Nathan's arrival with his favorite iron horse. Widya who came down from the online motorcycle taxi was not aware of Nathan's presence.

Nathan pauses for a moment to let Widya know of his presence. His mouth seemed to be unable to bear to shout the word 'honey' as his morning greeting.

Widya who then realized being noticed by her lover, stopped for a moment to see Nathan who was sculpting from a few meters away from her. No urgency clear liquid in the corner of his eyes shed instantly. Along with tightness in his chest.

Kartika and Karin who just came and got out of the car Karin saw the interaction of the two friends. The atmosphere of the cold war between the two, making Karin and Kartika exchanged looks through the eyes. They intend to approach Widya, but Widya has moved first with hasty steps.

Karin and Kartika undo their intentions. They will give Widya time to think calmly. Finally they walked into the campus courtyard with a wave.

"Tik, I'm sad, deh, squirming Widya like this," said Karin who suddenly made Kartika stop his steps.

Kartika choked, immediately he realized that maybe his words had offended Karin who was still dumbstruck. Of course because Widya's love story during High School was related to Karin. "Sorry, Rin. I don't mean to offend things that have been missed" Kartika lamented.

"Not what, Tik. We both know." Karin pats Kartika on the shoulder and the two decide to separate towards their respective faculty building.

Elsewhere, Widya was still in the toilet to finish her crying. After he calmed down, he intended to return to the classroom. However, he accidentally meets Harsa again.

“Hai,” greet Harsa.

“Hai, Sa,” reply Widya.

“You to class?”

“Iya.” Widya throws a sweet smile at Harsa making Harsa's heart suddenly roar violently. “Gue first, yes?”

Before Widya steps in, Harsa's voice again interrupts. “Lo is okay, right?” There was a worried look on Harsa's handsome face.

“Lumayan. Thanks, yes, yesterday I was. I went to class first.” Widya immediately went to her class.

That incident did not escape Nathan's netra. Her heart was hot looking at Widya who was smiling sweetly at Harsa. Instantly the memories in the garden yesterday were present and managed to make his hands clench firmly. His heart is getting messed up.

“Gue did not expect if you talent so pebinor,” Nathan chapped while beside Harsa. Harsa who was surprised by Nathan's presence only furrowed her eyebrows.

“Gue repeat once again. Widya is mine. Until anytime, I will not release Widya. So, bury your hopes deeply to snatch Widya from me!” press Nathan with a hostile face.

Harsa just smiled cynically in response to Nathan's rant. When Nathan was about to step up, then Harsa said, “And I also reminded him once again. I will never stop loving Widya. If I wanted to, I could take Widya from you a long time ago. I sincerely Widya lo, so you can make her happy, not for you sickin. Never make a gap for me to get into your relationship. Because when that happens, you'll run out, Nath!” harsa.

Nathan wanted to punch Harsa, but he did not want to make a scene in the campus area. “Gue sure it won't happen. Dream lo height, Sa!” nathan Sarcass.

“Then prove it! Prove that you will not hurt Widya again,” hardik Harsa, then step away from Nathan who is still controlled by emotions.

***

When Nathan and Widya meet in class, it's Nathan's turn to be indifferent to Widya. His emotions are still burning. He did not want to fight anymore with Widya. Therefore, he ignored his beloved for a while. Nathan flashed by and took off the rough backpack that had been on his shoulder. Landing his body on an available bench.

"I promise I'll never let you go, honey. But why can't you understand me? Where's the Widya I know?" he muttered sadly when he saw Widya was indifferent to him.

They still maintain their ego. Nathan, who still put forward his friendship, justifies his caring attitude towards Vina. While Widya still blames Nathan's attitude that continues to attach more importance to Vina than him.

...*** ...

“Why are you, Nath?” vina asked as she approached Nathan in the living room. Nathan could no longer hide his sadness. His face looks so crumpled. He did not want to answer Vina's question. “Don't be so moody, we go, yuk!” take Vina with you while slipping spoiled on Nathan's arm.

“Do not disturb me, Vin!” nathan was upset that Vina did not understand his mood at all.

“Why? Widya's problem again?” vina's growling because Nathan was a little snapping at her. “Ribet really, anyway, dating her. Yes, we go, we go! Let you escape your problems with him,” persuade Vina gently. However, in his heart he laughed contentedly at the estrangement between Nathan and Widya. “I'm sure you're back with me, Nath! Because, it's only me who pantes alongside you, Vina's inner” feels above the wind.

“Mending you home, Vin! Sorry, I'm the owner myself.” Nathan leaves Vina for the room and locks her from the inside. He did not want Vina to suddenly enter his room and increasingly upset his heart.

I don't know why I'm most willing to see Nathan as Harsa fights. There is one thought☝😅
